This guy seems kind of legitimate, albeit biased

He's purely speculating.

Great, the fact they have their own t.v. show dedicated to his visit makes a pretty compelling case for the Yankees, if the financials are even close to being in the same neighborhood.   Hard to resist being part of that Red Sox/Yankees rivalry that seemingly always results in 4 1/2 hour broadcasts, right?

Hopefully, but it sounds like he has a ton of confidence that they'll get it done

They could have, you know, changed their minds since that was originally reported.

It's his boyhood favorite team who has has expressed an interest to play for. He was always going g to sign with the yankmees if the money was close.

He is a yank fan... of course he has confidence...

What's he supposed to say/think? They have dominated the baseball world and have bought many players to fill holes in their lineup over the years. The national media bows down to them, because honestly, they've earned that. Everyone in the world thinks the same 4 teams are gonna get everyone. This one has a history of loving their franchise. Kinda hard not to be positively arrogant about ones chances.

which makes me think the money isn't really that close... he would be signed by now if it was

Every Yankees fan is confident they’ll sign every important free agent.

Hopefully. See what kind of discount he is willing to take to play for the Yankees.

Ya, their fans think they can get everyone and money isn't a problem for them lol

I’ve said it before but I really really love this framing of Yankees getting manny just because DiDi is out for half the season.

Tho didi is also a free agent after next season tho they do want to lock him up. Really honestly need a second baseman and move torres over to ss and add more pitching then adding 300 million on one player.

I'm still confused why they ever brought over Stanton.  Harper would have been such a better fit.

I'm sure they would love to do a mulligan on that trade

That's exactly why they wound up with ARoid. Aaron Boone was out for a season so they figured why not.

He still put up a 4+ WAR season, which is more than Harper can say.

So what you're saying is is that Harper should also DH over half the time.

That’s what you took from that?

Calm down people we all knew this was going to happen, same stuff is going to happen tomorrow as well. Until one of the main national media break a signing everything else is just speculation, no need for the doom and gloom just yet

So far so good IMO.  It's like getting a prospective recruit to not commit on their official visit.

What's the latest update? Are we still making fun of peavy44?
